Chapter 247 Premiere, see old friends again
Ji Yue said with a somewhat complicated tone: "That year, it was the tenth anniversary of my official debut. I also participated in the Venice Film Festival and was nominated for Best Actress."
"Before the award list was announced, I was the number one favorite. The domestic media said that I had contributed the best acting skills since my debut. The local media also believed that my performance was worthy of the award of Best Actress. I am also very proud of my performance. confidence."
Ji Yue's acting career is known to anyone who likes watching movies or has paid attention to the entertainment industry.
She was a child star when she was a child and made her official debut at the age of 15.
In the year of her debut, she played the leading role in a movie called "Female Warrior". This was also the first movie she starred in. She became an instant hit and won the Best Actress Award at the most authoritative film festival in China. .
That year, the literary film she starred in participated in the Cannes Film Festival, and she won the Best Actress Award, becoming the youngest queen in China at the three major European film festivals.
After that, she won various domestic and foreign awards for Best Supporting Actress, Best Actress, and Most Popular Actress many times. She is the most awarded actress in the country.
An Yuan remembers that Ji Yue's downhill journey began with her failure at the Venice Film Festival four years ago.
Ji Yue said quietly: "During that time, I was really prosperous. I was looking forward to the honor of becoming Asia's first double Best Actress at the three major European film festivals."
"However, no one thought that... Joey Rose would turn out."
"She made a movie for the first time in her life. She just finished filming a movie, and she won the Venice Best Actress. The number of votes she received was overwhelming."
"Except for Joey Rose, the candidates who were nominated for Best Actress at that time were all very famous stars or veteran actors. Only Joey Rose was unknown."
"At that time, no matter how high I was praised, I would fall as hard as I could..."
That loss made her a joke.
Her opponents and competitors constantly issued press releases mocking her.
She was greatly hit, and she was not in good condition in her subsequent works, and her performance was not very satisfactory, which attracted a lot of criticism.
Then she fell into a terrible vicious cycle. Her works were sold out one after another, and she gradually lost confidence and suffered from depression.
Anyuan looked at Ji Yue: "I haven't seen Joey's movies, and I don't know if she is an actor, but she is really good at acting, at least in life."
Ji Yue smiled and did not dwell on the past: "The movie she won the award for was called "Genius Orphan". It was adapted from the Nobel Prize-winning novel. Because the content was very bold and deviant, it was banned by many countries and has not been introduced in our country. .”
"So the movie she made was not released in China and is not famous."
She paused slightly and said, "I have watched her movies carefully, and there is no trace of her acting at all. I am willing to give up."
"It's just that she disappeared after that. She stopped making movies, and didn't take on any commercials or participate in any public events. It was like making that movie was just a whim of hers, and she quit the show after filming."
Anyuan nodded: "Hearing what you said, I really want to watch that movie."
Ji Yue smiled: "Before I took on the movie "Shan Yue You Zhi", I had been striving for a big production directed by the national teacher."
"This movie has an investment of [-] million. The script and cast are very good. The heroine has a complex experience, both good and evil. She is a very controversial and charming character. I really want to get that role."
"After I went for the audition, the national teacher praised me for my good performance, but he felt that I was too famous and lacked mystery and freshness. Moreover, the heroine in the movie was only 18 years old, so he would prefer to choose someone younger. Talented new actors.”
"Later, I heard that he had identified an 18-year-old newcomer who had lived abroad since childhood."
"After I inquired secretly, I found out that person was JoeyRose."
An Yuan nodded silently when he heard this.
No wonder Joey often took long vacations during the last school year, sometimes for a week or two at a time, presumably to secretly film a movie.
Ji Yue laughed at herself again: "This incident has hit me too hard."
"I am sure that when Guoshi's new movie is released, I, an international movie queen who has been in the industry for more than ten years, will be laughed at again if I lose to a newcomer who is ten years younger than me."
After being silent for a while, An Yuan said in an unskilled and comforting tone: "It doesn't matter. You performed very well in "Shan Yue You Zhi" and will definitely be a great success."
After finishing speaking, she added: "I'm not flattering you, I really think so."
"Thank you." Ji Yue smiled, "After raising them in your family's farm for so long, I have looked away and regard filming as a kind of enjoyment."
She stopped talking about Joey and filming, and said to Xiao Lu, the assistant in charge of driving: "Go directly to Rockefeller Studios, where we will have dinner, and then go directly upstairs to attend the premiere."
《边界行动》的首映礼于19：00开始，21：40结束，其中电影长度为130分钟。
It was almost six o'clock in the evening when An Yuan and Ji Yue arrived at Rock's Cinema.
The two spent half an hour eating in the restaurant on the fourth floor, and then went to the IMAX theater on the sixth floor.
Rockefeller Cinemas is recognized as the cinema with the best environment, best services, best equipment, and the most expensive tickets in China. It is only equipped in first-tier cities and above, and there is only one in a city.
Now this IMAX theater is the largest theater in Rockefeller Cinemas. It can accommodate 500 people. It is equipped with luxurious leather seats. The space is quite open, the indoor temperature is suitable, the air is smooth, not stuffy, and has no odor.
Anyuan and Jiyue both went in wearing masks and sat in the corner of the hall without attracting anyone's attention.
As soon as 19:00 arrives, the premiere officially begins.
The host appeared and gave a simple opening speech.
The main creative staff including directors, starring actors, screenwriters, producers, etc. appeared, and the host introduced their identities one by one, including An Zhengming.
An Zhengming, wearing a straight military uniform, stood on the far right side of the team like a javelin. His position was the most inconspicuous. However, his appearance, figure, and his outstanding soldier's appearance did not change even if the mountain collapsed. His temperament makes his presence in no way inferior to the popular stars and veteran actors in the team.
Ji Yue said with admiration: "Zhengming is starting to have a bit of star quality."
An Yuan also smiled: "I think so too."
None of them tried to contact An Zhengming.
At first glance, An Zhengming was a low-key, hard-working type with a strong psychological quality. There was no need for them to cheer him up on such an occasion.
Because he was not famous, the audience's attention was basically focused on the most famous director and several popular stars and veteran actors. Except for An Yuan and Ji Yue, only a female audience member sitting in the middle stared closely at him. An Zhengming.
"An Zhengming, I didn't expect to see you again..." With red eyes, she murmured in a voice that no one could hear, "After so many years, you are still a hero, you have never changed..."
"This time, I must formally apologize to you..."
